Spent this evening drinking gin and listening to jazz and taking notes from kanamori and maybe maths is pretty great actually.

Entering my locals poker tournament tonight to figure out whether balatro has ruined my ability to play the real thing

Going for cocktails at your favourite bar with a friend is one of life's small joys. Today I discovered that it's particularly joyful when said friend asks the bartender to make their spicy margarita as spicy as they're willing to and immediately regret their life choices.

I have loads of marking to do over the next couple of days so I've decided to (a) listen to albums rather than my on repeat playlist for once, and (b) review them on here to keep me sane

Spent like 20 minutes being very smugly happy, reading philosophy in the sun in a nice cafe, but I've been FOILED by the iPad overheating screen

My girlfriend just tried to upload a photo of us to her Instagram story and the suggested music was the twin peaks music 😭 what is the algorithm trying to tell us

this is the surface of mars today, seen by perseverance

when a mathematician writes something like ℝ/ℤ what she's saying is the ships the reals with the integers

Sun is out! Reading philosophy! Drinking matcha! Cafe is playing Clairo! We're so back

Berlin is bankrupting me the book stores are just too good

I need a holiday to recover from having 3 ridiculously busy days preparing to be on holiday

Am definitely interpreting formative as influential rather than early with this selection, but this spans a lot of my life

Five words every woman wants to hear: this is an abelian group

Tag line for philosophy as a discipline

if i had an old wife i would listen to all of her tales

retweet to make a constructivist mad

Blink was a super interesting watch! I have a tendency to really focus on form when thinking about things like this - both the overlapping monologues and the staging were very cool, very efficient writing. But, also undeniably viscerally emotional in a way I really enjoyed.

Little haul from gay's the word.

Was asked at a comedy show about valentine's stories and was reminded of the time my highschool boyfriend very badly forged Jacqueline Wilson's signature for me 😭 Not made up my mind whether this was a red flag or not

Just gave a fun talk about some of Maddy's philosophy, very happy that I successfully had people arguing in the coffee room for an hour afterwards 😈

Macbeth: SHIT

Currently on hour 1 out of 9 in Prague airport. I have talk slides to write for tomorrow, currently unsure whether this will be the best rehearsed talk in history, or if I'll emerge having read half of Wikipedia with 5 questionable podcast ideas.

women only love diamonds in this world. they love squares in all worlds.

New video about maths communication! What makes Numberphile videos so effective? I analyse how these videos explain maths, and try talking about the Monty Hall problem in the iconic Numberphile style myself. @bradyharan.bsky.social youtu.be/MsCp0In-5As?...

Boygenius played on only connect this is my barbenhiemer

Just saw Marty Supreme, I liked it but truly I feel like I need 24 hours to digest it before I can give any sensible opinions

Spent this evening watching good will hunting, then doing the graph theory exercise in good will hunting

Escher exhibit - there was some decent exposition about tessalation in hyperbolic geometry!

Why did no one tell me the movie arrival was bad

I've been doing long days marking undergrad work for like a week straight, my break today has been learning sad Radiohead covers on guitar ... TBD if this is a cry for help

in a better world arXiv has always had the policy that all papers must be in esperanto

Just picked up a planner for 2026, very charmed by the addition of this page at the back

Jonathan Schilhan Transcendence degrees over mutually generic extensions https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.02725

I'm such a stationary hoarder that I'm currently writing notes for a paper I'll write for my PhD in a notebook that mostly contains my GCSE history notes on WW2 😭

So they renewed line of duty for another season, and I very confidently told my girlfriend that the first 3 seasons are some of the best TV I've seen - am now rewatching to see if this opinion formed by undergrad me holds up

Can someone give me like an extra year of PhD funding please I wanna think about hat problems

in case you didn’t know, in a year voyager 1 will be 1 light-DAY away from earth. it took almost 50 YEARS of travel time to reach that distance and will be the first human-made object to reach this distance.

Been really enjoying listening to tiny desk concerts while I mark recently, had the Nile Rodgers one especially on repeat

A bit of #Jupiter (NASA / JPL-Caltech / SwRI / MSSS / Enaldo Valadares)

Got too much maths on the brain, I've been spelling the chef's name Gordon Ramsey 😭

Was recognised in the noodle place near campus for being a regular and given a loyalty card, super sweet!

I spent most of today marking, so I'd like to shout out caffeine, noise cancelling headphones and MF Doom

Idk why but the clocks changing is definitely responsible for my overwhelming urge to rewatch old doctor who

I should time myself on whether making beamer slides or drawing iPad slides is quicker for a maths talk because truly I have no idea

love to see an argument broken up into steps, labelled by how mysterious each step is
